Fondazione Palazzo Butera

The Foundation was established in 2020 with a vision to create an environment where people of all cultures, disciplines and interests can come and, through engagement with art, culture and history, be inspired to new ways of seeing and thinking.

This is currently achieved in three ways. The first, is to provide access to Palazzo Butera with its museum, cultural events and work spaces. The second is to allow engagement with the people who have achieved the artistic and architectural restoration of the historic Palazzo. The third is to play a part in the regeneration of the beautiful and historic region of Sicily through incubating educational programmes and projects.

By supporting local endeavours and enabling multiple international projects, we believe that the synergy of an encounter between these two will bring equal benefits to both local community and overseas participants.
In short, art, culture and history are the keys to understanding the past, informing the present and inspiring the future.
